CHICAGO, March 24.-Two weeks ago
the district assembly OF knights OF La
Dor, of which Robert Nelson, the can
didate of the labor party for mayor, is a
member, voted fifty dollars to the United

was laid before the general executive
board, and my decision to the effect that
the action taken by district assembly "a
in voting $50 to the United Labor party
or any other party was'clearly in violation
of the law and established a precedent,
was unanimously approved by a majority
of the board. No money can be voted
from an assembly, district or local,
for political purposes. The members
of the board present when my decision
was acted on were all of MY mind. They
were Bailey. Barry, Aylesworth. Hayes.
Carleton. General Worthy Foreman

I. V. PowDERLY,
General Master Workman

The district assembly of which Nelson
is master workman has a membership of
5000, including presumably men of all
parties. At present the entire machinery
of the district organization is in the hands
of a radical faction, the friends of Nelson.
The immediate effect of he ruling is TO
prevent Nelson's supporters from %levying
assessments upon his political antagonists
or using the organization as a polite,
collection agency. 1t is in its general APP.
plication, however, that the ruling is most
interesting, for the precedent established
defines the policy ofthe Knights ofIabor
wherever their organization exists.

4 Chronic Tendency Overcome.

Many persons are troubled with Q
chronic tendency to constipation. They
are of bilious temperament. The com.
plant to which they are subject. though
easily remediable by iudicious treatment
is in many cases aggravated by a resort
to drastic purgatives and cholagogHes.
AS the human stomach and bowels are
lined with delicate membrane, and not
with vulcanite, they cannot stand pro-
longed drenching with such medicines
without serious injury. Nothing re-
stores and couuteracts Gn habitusl ten
dency to constipation SO effectuRlly as
Hostetter's Stomach bitters. Its laxa-
tive effect is gentle and progressive. It
neither convulses or weakers the intes.
tines, apd its effects are unaccompanisd
by gripping pains. It arouses the liver
when the organ is sluggish, promotes di-
gestioD, and encourages appetite and
sleep. For fever and ague, kidney
troubles, nervous complaints and incipi-
ent rheumatism, it is incompatible.
Take a wineglass before meals and sec
how soon you will relish them.

SHEEP FoK WHIDBY IsLAND.-A. w
Bash has large farm near Oak Harbor
on Whidby Island, which he intends to
convert into stock ranch. He went
over to ElIensburg a few days ago for
the purpose OF buying 1000 head of
sheep. The stockmen got up n sort of
corner on sheep with the intention of
squeezing him little, but he proved too
smart to be taken in. He jumped on
the first train, went out to a good lCok-
ing stock ranch, aud in ten minutes had
bought $40 heads Of extra good mutton
sheep. These animals were loaded into
three double decked stock cars and
brought to this city by way of the switch
back. Owing to the train being delayed
these sheep arrived too late to be shipped
to Oak harbor by the regular boat, and
Mr.. Bash chartered the barge j. G. Brit
tain and the steamer Phantom to convey
them to their future home on the Is
land. In speaking OF the business,
Mr.. Bash said: "These sheep are not
intended for breeding purposes, but will
be fattened and sold to the Puget Sound
butchers. ."-Seattle P,-I
